Why the hell is there an entire thread devoted to Godsmack of all bands? I have to agree with JD on this one, Godsmack are crap and deserve to be lumped in with all other crap metal bands such as Disturbed, Linkin Park, Nickleback etc.

lol! Well,I'm an old-school 'pure true metahead from the 1980's" so my opinions will be defending everything "traditional" thats why I don't care for Turbo,Demolition or Nostradamus because those records are not "traditional" they are doing something different but this is my philosophy.The above photo is Fenriz of Darkthrone, I agree with 99% of what he says in all his interviews,check some of them out and thats pretty much my thoughts and opinions.[Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by iamnostradamus88 from Thursday, February 11, 2010 7:23:58 PM)

Personally I don't see it and to each his own dislike them if you may thats fine, but either way, Godsmack and System of a Down shouldn't have been put into the category of all those other bands of the time. If you call System of a Down processed or label made crap you obviously didn't hear Mezmerize and Hypnotize which in my opinion were very excellent records and the musicianship between them was quite excellent. Godsmack was a band that got really big because they made catchy heavy groove based songs that could be played on the radio(another reason metalheads frown upon them). There popularity started decline a little bit around 2003 and what did they do? Released an older school "rock" based album and an acoustic record. Sounds like a rock band just tryin to do what they want. Thats not exactly a trend of that time. Both records in which still had top radio songs even after there popularity dimmed a little. Neither of those two bands will fade away because believe it or not they have long extended fanbases unlike Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park who have faded away which I agree with you on. Many people I talk to cringe at the fact that they once liked Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park which says something. I am yet to see someone who liked or likes godsmack or system cringe ever. Having a dj and making mixed beats and bullshit is not really something i'm into with heavy music. Neither Godsmack nor System of a Down have that. System experimented a little bit with synths and what have you but it was done with a few songs and in a very tasteful manner. Also Godsmack is notorious for being a tight rock band to put on a hell of a show and System of a Down has been on hiatus since 2006 and people are constantly asking and waiting for the reunion. Both bands are passed there prime but they won't fade away in the way that you put it. Godsmack's prime ended around 2003 and there 2006 album went straight to number one in its first week. Like I said "passed" their prime. But at the same time thats just my opinion as you are entitled to yours and i've said it before I get people not liking them. I agree with you on Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park. Disturbed and Slipknot I can't stand but even they do there own thing and I know they are just bands doing what they do because if they were processed crap they wouldn't have continued to put out records like they do now(and they are successful). But I personally just hate when Godsmack and System of a Down get thrown in with the other bands you just mentioned. Neither deserve to be there but they all came from the same time so understandable I guess. It just sucks. lol. Actually those are pretty much the only two bands from that time I like which most certainly says something about that time haha. Maybe there just guilty pleasures lol

Godsmack is a "plastic" band in my opinion just like Disturbed,System of A Down,Slip Knot and thousands of other bands,they are all "plastic" meaning that they have no personified style at all....its really the big wig record producer's style of "what ever is in style" is what they make bands sound like to sell records to the masses.

Just like in the mid-late 80's with thousands of hair pretty boy bands that were out because that was the look and the sound so they just pumped out millions of them that all sounded the same. I hate these kinds of bands like Godsmack....shit like Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit...where the hell did Limp Bizkit go? Out of style is the answer and so will Godsmack...they are already forgoton about and they will disappear within the next 3 years or so.

if there is any Godsmack fans out there check out there new song Cryin' like a Bitch

I guess I will have to look around this notice board .. there are lots of topics.. Gesh... are any of them about the band??

Hmmmm..... not quite the way a "TRUE FAN" of the band introduces themselves to the membership. So stop pretending that you came in here and were kind and polite because you WEREN'T! You were attacked because you both DESERVED it and THAT is THAT! Sorry we aren't all kissing your ass like you think we should. Wait.... no, I'm not sorry. I'm me and I don't pretend to be anyone else. How about you and your "twin" try it once in your lives???
GESH..... LMAO!

I agree! Slipknot are awful, they have a dude who do nothing but bang on a big timpani drum, then headbang for the rest of the song. WTF?! LOL!
Oh and I saw Godsmacks performance in tribute to Priest at the inaugural (sp?) VH1 Rock Honours, and it wasn't that good. Just showed to me how much depth Priests music has - without the twin lead guitars, the songs sounded awful and kinda hollow.[Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Friday, November 27, 2009 10:19:09 PM)
